5 years of conferences

Today is my last day at Gartner.

SAP cloudwashes its image

SAP cloudwashes its image

By Josh Greenbaum on May 25, 2012

One of the most amazing cross-country flights I ever took found me over the center of the country at night, flying through an unbelievable electric storm, with an almost constant arcing of lightning illuminating vast canyons and mountains of clouds.
